They actually are fun in the back.

On the kiddie coaster at Busch gardens you get so much air-time in the back seat.

Grover's Alpine Express (Busch Gardens Europe)

Kiddie coasters FTW.

Dam steel you're lucky you live so close. i live about 45 mins to an hour away from SFMM

i miss all the great coasters there. im lucky to go even twice a year...

i think they're building more kiddy rides cause six flags doesnt really appeal to the younger age groups. even when my aunt and my cousins (one is 5 and the other is 9) get together to decide on where to go, they'd all prefer disneyland over 6flags no matter how hard i try to convince them how fun it is But it's true.. 6flags doesnt have many kiddy rides at all; looney toon town? they only have like 3 kiddy rides there...

Although I would have liked a more impressive coaster, I'm glad that Mark Shapiro is trying to give the park a better, more family-oriented atmosphere.

^^I have no clue how you can be "very happy" with a relocated Vekoma kiddie...

The whole biggest, tallest, longest roller coaster thing is killing the theme park industry. It's all about attracting whole families. It's cool there's a I305 being built, but c'mon, people shouldn't be negative about this new coaster. If you just keep expecting big rides, these parks will never become family-orientated.

[SnooSnoo]

Nah.. I just think they could do much better then adding a kiddie.. like a flat ride.. or 20.

[Jogumpie]

Well, obviously they wanted to up their coaster count. I believe they will add flat rides in the future, that's not something they should do right now.

Yea, to bad statistics has taken presence over atmosphere. Iron horse would be crap if it didn't have the station, music, and fireball that it does.

This doesn't really make it family orientated.
Sfmm's website says that this ride will have a 42 inch height requirement. I agree that this park needs a family coaster, but now this will be a family coaster that can't even be ridden by families? Stupid move, and waist of money, if there gonna keep the restriction.

There are dozens of roller skaters out there that have lower height requirements.

Why the hell not? They have absolutely NO flats of any substance in that park. Anywhere. I can get a better flat experience at a park 1/4 the size.

Simply put, they didn't need the kiddie, they needed a flat ride with some good thrill and capacity. All they want is a stupid record which no one but their retarded management cares about.

Really? Do they have anything else planned instead?

Also, there's a new SFMM fansite that's pretty basic ATM but is quickly getting bigger and better:
Planet SIX-The Ultimate Six Flags Magic Mountain Fansite!
